I like bears.  On top of a small bear collection, I have a few bear drawings at home.  This particular one has been sitting in my room since day one and it takes the place of our wedding picture.  However, I’ve had to remove it recently because Gavin is TERRIFIED of it. 

He suddenly developed a phobia for this drawing overnight and kicked a big fuss over it one morning.  Nothing we did or said could placate him.  So in the end, I just had to remove it from our bedroom.

He refers to it as “rectangle bear” probably because the frame is of that shape.  While I’m disappointed that I’ve to keep away the drawing,  I discovered it is an important tool which can be used to coerce him whenever he’s up to some mischief.  All I needed to say was “give you rectangle bear later” and he’ll become more cooperative.  But of course, that was short-lived.  He’s no longer fearful with it anymore although he still doesn’t want it in the bedroom.

Yesterday, I told him that I’ll get “rectangle bear” to bite him if he’s naughty.  He looked at me and pondered for a second before saying  “I want square bear to bite me.”  THAT is another bear drawing in a square frame.      

I am vain but I am pathetic when it comes to makeup.

I don’t know how to apply eyeliner without smudging the eyes and I cannot put on blusher without looking like a painted doll.  I don’t even know how to blend eye shadows properly without hideous effects.  The only thing I had no problem with was applying  mascara until it caused problems for my eyes recently.  

This explains why I take on the minimalist look all the time.  Just compact face powder and lipstick.  And even then, I find that I’m quite hopeless because my face powder tend to cake after a while.  So when I discovered recently that water spray can help to hydrate my makeup and keep it from caking and fading, I told myself I gotta get this fantastic water. 

I was happy to learn that Suisse Programme, a skincare range which I’ve been using, carries this Bio Cellular Oxy Water.  So today I set off to buy it! TA DA!  I am so looking forward to a day of refresing and lasting makeup tomorrow!

Anyway this is such a timing purchase because I’ve picked this week as SKINCARE WEEK to commemorate the fact that I’m a year wiser.  Tomorrow, I’m going for a facial to pamper myself and Friday, I’ll be off to my IPL treatment again to rejuvenate my skin. 

Haha…I’m determined to grow old with a VAIN attitude!

Ladies, do you have a partner who likes to leave things lying around?  Well, I do. 

EVERYDAY.  

Sometimes it’s a cup, at times it’s a plate and other times it’s a wet towel.  Yesterday it was a banana skin.

Me: WHO LEFT THE BANANA SKIN ON THE TABLE?
He: Me…
Me: WHY DID YOU LEAVE IT ON THIS TABLE?
He: Because I’m waiting for a lizard to come.
Me: WHAT??? 
Me: WHY?
He: So that the lizard can trip over the banana skin.

ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH *PULLS HAIR*

Some weeks ago, my boy was FASCINATED with elevators.  More precisely, taking fun rides in them.  In fact, he was so single minded about the activity that he’ll make me take him up and down on the same elevator over and over again! 

So a few weekends ago, we took him to the Pan Pacific Hotel to take the transparent elevator.  Needless to say, he was OVERJOYED.  I guess you can sense his excitement as much from this picture of him peering at the scenery from the glass.  We had to take him up and down 37 floors a few times to satisfy him.  Yet, all the while fearing that we would be chased out by some security guards! 

Even though we didn’t have to physically climb 37 storeys, it was still very tiring for us… 

Very strange.  My blog is no longer deluged with comment spams after the elections.  In fact, it seems to be very much back to normal.  Really makes me wonder what’s the correlation.  Or it’s just a seasonal or rotational pattern.  Anyway, I’m not going to post the dirty word here just in case.
